In 1982,as aphotography (摄影) student at New York University, she was photographing male models for a book2when she came across an ad featuring Andy Warhol, a very famous artist. She thought itwould be really great to put him in her book.So she called Andy Warhol at his studio in Union Square and asked if she could photograph him.Two weeks later, Bystedt took a rented Hasselblad camera and lights to Warhol’s famed “Factory” on 14thstreet. She ended up taking 36 pictures, and published two in her book, Not Just Another Pretty Face, published in 1983. Warhol came to its launch (发行) party---and that was the last time she saw him.A few years later, she packed the portraits in a box and moved to Los Angeles. Butafter she’d gottensettled, she couldn’t find them. She couldn’t remember whether she had given the photos away or just left them in some forgotten storage unit. Either way, she thought they were lost forever.In 2011, Bystedt became determined to find the missing films(底片). She spent two weeks goingthrough two old garages, where she had put a bunch of belongings decades before. In a cardboard box, she found ten of the original films, covered in dust.She and a friend spent four months digitizing and cleaning the images up, pixel(像素) by pixel.Bystedt was not content to merely publish the unseen photos. She invited contemporary artists to paint over and around her Warhol pictures, breathing new life into her old work. So she began reaching out to artists, seeing if they would be interested in putting their own stamp on the pictures.The responses was overwhelming. Bystedt’s new exhibit, “The Lost W arhols,” opened on May 1,2018 at 178 Sixth Avenue in Soho, New York, included 66 different interpretations of her portraits from34 artists.28._____________________________________ After photographing Andy Warhol, Bystedt_________________________________________ _____.A.never met the artist again.B.published a book the following year.C.published all of his pictures in her book.D.decided to photograph some male models for a book.29.___________________________________________ According to the passage, thephotos of Andy Warhol ___________________________ ____.A.were found missing soon after they were taken.B.were taken when the artist was 19 years old.C.were found missing after Bystedt moved to Los Angeles.D.were taken by Bystedt without the artist’s permission.30.What did Bystedt do after the missing films were found?A.she published the unseen photos very quickly.B.she held a party for some artists to view the photos.C.she spent months repairing the films.D.she displayed the pictures to make a profit.31.What would be a suitable title for the passage?A.

Researchers found that familypets helped to protect babies against breathing problems and infections (感染).A team from Kuopio University Hospital in Finland studied 397 babies born at theirhospital between September 2012 and May 2015 for their first year. They found that babieswho lived with a dog or a cat spent fewer weeks with ear infections, coughs or runny noses.They were also less likely to needantibiotics (抗生素) than babies in homes without a pet.Study author, Dr. Eija Bergroth, said dogs brought dirt and bacteria (细菌) into thehome, which helped children’s immune system (免疫系统) to be strong. This improved theirdefenses against bacteria.As part of the study, parents filled out weekly diaries starting when the children were nine weeks old,recording information on babies’health as well as their contact with cats and dogs. They recorded if they had fever, ear infections, coughs or running noses. They also put downwhether they needed antibiotics.Based on those diaries, the researchers found that about a third of the children spent most of theirfirst year with a pet dog and 24 percent in a home with a cat. And children with no dogcontact at home were healthy for 65 percent of the time, pared to between 72 and 76 percentfor those who did have a pet.The researchers also found that contact with dogs, more than cats, was tied to fewer weeksofsickness for babies.However, the researchers said they couldn’t rule out the possibility that people who own dogs are less likely to get sick for another reason, not due to any protection offeredby pets.32.__________________________________ T he researchers studied each child’s life_____________________________________ ____.A.for a yearB.for three yearsC.for four yearsD.all through childhood33.How are dogs able to benefit children?A.By fighting bacteria.B.By stopping them from going out.C.By strengthening their immune system.D.By producing the antibiotics they need.34.What do the underlined words, “rule out”, in the last paragraph probably mean?A.
